Information about the event
Philosophy Conversation | Civil Disobedience
What kind of behaviors count as civil disobedience and when are they justified?
Join philosophy students in an open conversation about civil disobedience, where they introduce a few philosophical ideas relevant to the conversation topic.
All welcome, no participation fee.
"Philosophy Conversation" is a series of open discussions organized in collaboration with the students in the philosophy course “Politics and Society” at the University of Iceland. The focus is on formal justice and power relations as well as capitalism and the value of things that cannot be monetized, such as the natural environment and human relationships. In November four conversations take place and are open to everyone interested in the topics:
Wednesday 06.11.2024 - Mass Canceling and Justice
Friday 08.11.2024 - Civil Disobedience
Wednesday 13.11.2024 - Nature and Society
Friday 15.11.2024 - Technology and Society
Opið samtal is a conversation platform where we explore different formats of discussions at the library and gain new skills in engaging in respectful exchange on topics that are close to our hearts.
